Chapter 67
Madeleine had been watching Eliza and Julian sign the letter of intent for the cooperation in the Purple City movie in the audition hall. Only then was she released by the security guard. Jay had been waiting at the entrance of Thunder Company building. As soon as Madeleine came out, he hurried to her and took her hand gently. “Madeleine, how did it go?” “Have you passed? Did you get the role?” “Did Eliza help you?” Madeleine was furious when he mentioned Eliza. Eliza, Eliza! Did Jay still think that Eliza was still the same person who had been at their disposal? As Eliza’s best friend, Madeleine knew very well that Eliza’s heart was soft. She had always been tolerant in the past and she was unwilling to cause trouble, not because she had any feelings for Jay. But now… Eliza was obviously not willing to give in anymore. She took a deep breath and said, “Eliza didn’t help me.” “She got the female lead this time.” “She succeeded in the final test.” Jay was stunned. At this time, he saw Eliza and Roseane come out of the building together. He dashed up, pulled Eliza aside and asked, “Eliza, how can you do this?” “I told you that this movie is very important to Madeleine…” “This movie is also very important to me.” Eliza looked at Jay’s face and suddenly felt pity for him. She took a deep breath and searched her bag for quite some time. Finally, she found a green turtle keychain. This was bought by Graciana when she was by the seaside in Ertonphia as she thought it was cute. She had kept it in Eliza’s bag. She stuffed the little tortoise into Jay’s hand and smiled. “It’s for you. Calm down.” “Madeleine lost this role, but she got you.”
“As for me, as you said, Mr. Valentine doesn’t care about me. I can only rely on myself, unlike Madeleine who can rely on you.” “So, I’ll take this role first, and then help her find other roles.” After that, the woman turned and left with a smile. Jay frowned. He looked at the green turtle keychain in his hand and frowned. What did Eliza mean? Was the green turtle given to him to curse him that his lover would have an affair? What a joke! He and Madeleine had been together for more than five years, and their relationship was very stable. She must be envious and jealous! 2
After ditching Jay, Eliza had just walked to the side of the road when a car stopped beside her. “Aunty, I’ll send you back?” As the car window rolled down, Matthew’s handsome face was revealed. Eliza smiled, opened the car door, and sat inside. Roseane was sitting at the back of the car. Seeing Eliza, she smiled gently and said, “Congratulations.” “Thank you.” Matthew was sitting in the passenger seat, smiling as he looked at the woman in the rearview mirror. “But your performance today really surprised me.” “I used to think that your acting was good, but I didn’t expect it to be this good!” Eliza was a little embarrassed. “It was them who set me off nicely.” “My acting skills are actually average, much difference compared than Roseane.” “Stop complimenting me. You did a good job.” Roseane smiled and handed her a bottle of water. “By the way.” Eliza looked up at Roseane and said, “I have to thank you for introducing Mr. Valentine to me.” “Without Mr. Valentine, I won’t get to attend the audition, nor will I get this role.” Roseane was stunned. After a while, she remembered that Matthew had made up a story about Mr. Valentine. She coughed softly. “Mr. Valentine… He’s quite a kind person.” “That’s right.”
Eliza nodded seriously. “I feel that Mr. Valentine is still very close to us youngsters.” “I really appreciate this old man.” “Puff! !” Matthew, who was drinking water in the front row, spurted out a mouthful of water. If he guess it correctly, the “old man” mentioned by her must be his uncle, Beau! He held back his laughter and said, “Indeed, Mr. Valentine is an old man with a fairly young mentality.” Eliza pursed her lips. It seemed that her guess was correct. Mr. Valentine should be an old man in his fifties. So she continued with a smile, “I want to buy some gifts for Mr. Valentine.” “Although I feel that a person of his status should not be lacking in gifts, I still want to express my goodwill.” After speaking, she looked at Roseane seriously. “Can you arrange for me to meet Mr. Valentine?” Roseane was stunned and looked at Matthew. “Yes, you can!” Matthew just wanted to watch the fun, so he said, “Mr. Valentine is familiar with Roseane. She can arrange it for you.” Roseane: “…” She really didn’t know Beau well! However, since Matthew had already said so, she could only nod awkwardly. “Alright, I’ll arrange it for you.” “Then let me get off at the intersection in front.” Eliza looked out of the window. There was a big shopping mall at the intersection in front of them. “I’m going to buy the gifts now and buy some snacks for Braint and Demarion!” Matthew nodded and instructed the chauffeur to let Eliza get off the car. “Why didn’t you tell
her that Mr. Valentine is actually your uncle?” Roseane frowned and asked in a low voice. “It won’t be fun if I tell her.”
Matthew looked at Eliza’s back and a mischievous smile appeared on his face. “I’m looking forward to seeing my uncle’s reaction when he finds out that my aunt treats him as an old man.” “I even want to follow them tomorrow and hide in the dark to take pictures. Uncle
must have a wonderful look on his face.”
Roseane rolled her eyes at him. “Then your pocket money should be wonderful in the future too.” Matthew: “.” Forget it, forget it, His pocket money was more important than watching a joke! 2
The salesclerk of the shopping mall explained for a long time. In the end, Eliza bought a fountain pen and a box of tea leaves for Mr. Valentine. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
The salesclerk said that this was the design that all the elderly in the upper society liked. D Although the price was a little expensive, Eliza still felt that it was worth it. She bought some more snacks for the two little kids and took them home together. At home, the father and his two sons were all there. Beau elegantly leaned on the sofa to read the newspaper, Braint was sitting on the sofa playing with the laptop, and Demarion was sitting on the carpet playing with the puzzles. “Madam is back!” Hearing the sound of the door opening, Demarion threw away the puzzle in his hand. Braint put down the laptop and Beau raised his head. Facing the gaze of the three men in the house, Eliza nervously cleared her throat “Ahem, everyone, I’ve succeeded in my audition!” “I’m going to be the lead actress of the movie!” The woman’s words made Demarion jump with excitement. “Great!” “What’s there to be surprised about?” “Don’t make a fuss about it.” The father and son continued to read the newspaper, while the other continued to fiddle with his laptop.
Eliza: “…”
Demarion blinked at her. As he rummaged through Eliza’s shopping bag, he secretly said, “Actually, the two of them are more worried about you than I am.” “Now, they’re pretending not to care!” Eliza glanced up at the father and son duo, who were pretending to be serious, and a smile appeared on her lips. “Mommy, what’s this?”

Demarion asked while holding the tea box and the fountain pen case. “Don’t move.” Eliza quickly took the box and put it away. “This is a gift for Mr. Valentine.” When she mentioned “Mr. Valentine”, Beau’s hand, which was holding onto the newspaper, paused for a moment. The corner of his lips curled into a smile. “Who is Mr. Valentine?” “He’s an elder grandfather.” O Beau: “…”
